Hold Your Elopement Memories
in Your Hands

PRINTED WEDDING ALBUMS

Picture this: it's your anniversary. First, tenth, fiftieth.

You're curled up together, pulling a beautifully crafted book from your shelf. As you turn each page, you're transported right back to Ireland. The way the wind caught your clothes on that clifftop. That moment you cried and then laughed during your vows. The warm glow of the pub where you celebrated afterward.

That's the magic of an album. And because these lovely books are handcrafted by actual humans who care about quality in a professional lab, you'll still be turning those pages 50 years from now.

Digital galleries live on screens, albums live in your home.

Why Your Elopement
Deserves to Live on Your Bookshelf

Look, as someone who grew up watching technology evolve from floppy disks to whatever comes after cloud storage, I have thoughts about digital file formats. Who knows if JPEGs will even be readable in 30 years?

You know what's never going to need a software update or disk recovery? Your album.

Why your elopement should be printed

THE POINT OF ALBUMS

This is just science, my darlings. And you can trust me on that, because I am a scientist. (That is actually true, I was once a forensic chemist. Fun fact.)

When your images are beautifully printed and bound, you're much more likely to look at them than if they're buried in some nested folder structure on your computer labeled "wedding pics final_full gallery FINAL v2."

You'll Actually Look at Them. A Lot.

02

Every album comes to me for a final quality check before it’s sent to you.

I get emotional holding them, and they're not even photos of my own wedding. There's something about holding a tangible memory in your hands that hits you differently than scrolling on a screen.

I'll let you in on a secret: when I'm photographing your elopement–and later, when I’m editing–I’m already thinking about how these moments are going to live together in your album.

Printed Images Hit Different

03

"But I made sure not to get tears on the album!"

“I only cried a little when we opened it”

Your album is checked over personally to make sure it's perfect before it's sent home to you.

05

Your album will be handcrafted by the wonderful humans at the lab I partner with. (They are incredible and so detail-oriented and I love them.)

04

Once you love the design, you choose your fabric, colours, and any cover designs or text.

03

I'll design the whole thing for you using colour theory and storytelling. You review everything online and request changes right there on the pages, no back-and-forth emails. Super satisfying, honestly; you get to flip the digital pages like having the real book in front of you.

02

Tell me you'd like one! 

Before or after your elopement, your choice. You can order one at any time.

Getting your album is designed to be easy

That's it! My favourite part of elopements is obviously the elopements themselves, but albums are a very close second. Ugh I love them so much.

Here are the steps

I know album design can sound overwhelming.

There are several key ingredients that go into a timeless, emotional, aesthetic album design, but you don't have to worry about any of it. I've invested in all of that design education (and experience) so you don't have to.

"But what about the design process, is it A Lot...?"

And the cover? I'll design that for you too.

Want to see fabric swatches in real life, or assess which debossing colours look best with your fabric choice? We can hop on a free design call, and I'll show you physical samples. 

It's important to me that you're happy with every aspect of the album; nothing is sent to the lab without your sign-off.

The whole process is designed (hah. sorry) to be as easy and fun as possible. Because these albums aren't just books--they're the first family heirloom of your married life together.

And that deserves to be   special

Frequently
Asked
Questions

How many images will be in our album? +
This varies a bit depending on the size of your album and the flow of your elopement. As a wee guide, for Heritage Albums, multiply the number of spreads by 1.5 or 3 (sometimes more). I design with intention — rather than cramming spreads full of images, I give each photo room to breathe. This creates a more timeless, soothing design. For Keepsake Books, each page will have one image, sometimes a landscape-oriented image across two pages.
What exactly is an album spread? +
When you open your album and lay it flat, the two pages you see make up one spread. So for example, a 25-spread album has 50 pages to fill.
How many design revisions can we make? +
You get three rounds of revisions with every album. (Though between us? Most of my clients only need one round, occasionally two.) Any additional rounds beyond three will have a small fee attached.
Do these albums lay flat? +
Yep!. Your album pages will lie completely flat when open, so nothing gets lost or distorted in that centre crease.
Can we get our album by a specific date? +
Timing can be a bit variable, especially around the holidays when the lab gets quite busy. If you're hoping to have your album by a particular date (perhaps for a special occasion?), let me know as soon as you can. We'll make sure to plan accordingly.
What about the cover design? +
I'll take care of that for you! One cover design element for debossing comes included in your base price (for the heritage album). We'll work together to create something that feels perfectly you — whether that's text or a more elaborate design. You won't have to worry about figuring out any of the technical bits. For the keepsake book, you've got 5 pre-made cover designs to choose from.
What if we want to order multiple albums? +
Duplicate albums are exact copies of your main album, available at a lower price than the original, and they are perfect for gifts.
How do we keep our album looking beautiful? +
While you don't need to handle your album with cotton gloves, there are some simple ways to keep it looking lovely for years to come:

1. Clean hands are your friend — our skin's natural oils can leave smudges on the pages. Avoid touching the images themselves for the best longevity.
2. The pages have a coating that can be gently wiped with a damp cloth if needed
3. Keep it away from direct sunlight to avoid fading (though do note that some leathers will develop a beautiful patina over time)
4. Store your album (lying flat) in its slipcase! It protects from dust and sun
Can we get a bigger album?+
You absolutely can.

Keepsake Books are a fixed size, but the Heritage Album? You can add up to 25 more spreads (50 more pages) and/or bring the size up to 16x12”. (I know, right?)
Do we have to decide now? +
Not at all. You can order anytime, even years later when you realise those digital files are still sitting untouched. But folks often find it's easiest within 6 months to a year after their elopement, while the emotions are still fresh.

(Plus, I can't guarantee pricing years from now; if the lab raises prices, I have to as well. Soz.)

Album Edition

Want a photographer who can also make you a stunning album?

Look. They're not a small purchase. I totally understand that.

I only offer albums that are handmade and archival, and those are (to be transparent) expensive to produce. But I really, truly believe in printed art, and for me, it was either do this properly or not at all.

There's no pressure to decided now! Some couples know right away that they want one, and others don't; both are completely fine. Adding an album when you book your elopement gives you the best deal, but you can also wait a few years and order one later xx

I’ll be in touch by email to set up your consult call! That call is where we talk through what you’re drawn to, answer your questions, and start turning this into a real plan, including choosing the place(s) where your elopement could happen (!!)

There’s no pressure to sign a contract or anything on the call. It’s a chance to feel things out together and see if this feels like a good fit.
